Views description:
- Network over histogram view displays a social network as a function of a quantitative attribute of every network participant by overlaying the network over the histogram of the attribute. Each network vertex has x coordinate that is equal to its attribute.
- RDS sample view displays the sampled part of the network as explored by the RDS process currently in progress. Sample wave is on the x axis, and vertex attribute is on the y axis.
Functionality description:
- Change view – switch between the network over histogram and RDS sample views.
- Net view axis – hide or show the histogram and coordinate axes when in network over histogram view.
- Spread out – spread out/stop movement of the network vertices in the network over histogram view.
- Vertex opacity, edge opacity and vertex speed are network object appearance settings that can be changed in real time.
- Load network – load network topology as set by one of topology types (homophily, inv. homophily and rich-gets-richer) and network topology sensitivity constants (a value from 1 to 10, set by topology slider).
- Next sample and next wave – go to the next wave within an RDS sample, or to next RDS sample, as defined by sample size, number of coupons, seed selection and referral settings.
